Dear God, It’s Me Summer….

June 28, 2010

Pastor Joe Bennett of Bimini Bay Church (Mondays at biminibayhomes.com) speaks often of the kind of prayer God responds to. Because we are His kids, He doesn’t respond to ‘begging’ prayers but to those spoken with confident assurance that our Father knows and sees our pain ...

Miracle

June 27, 2010

You know those times in life when it’s ‘crunch time’, you’re out of options and have nowhere else to look but up? When you’ve exhausted all opportunities and none are coming through? When you’ve beat your head against the same brick wall for such a long time ...

The Dawning of Summer

June 21, 2010

First day of summer. Many thoughts come to mind: summer camp. Afternoon thunderstorms. My birthday. Swimming in the ocean! Walking to DQ on blazing hot summer afternoons with my friends. Scorched feet on concrete. Ice cream melting faster than I could eat it in my bikini on Captiva ...

An Open Confession

May 31, 2010

God, I’m so sorry for not making Your priorities mine these last few months. I’m sorry for vacillating between Your will and mine. I’m sorry for seeking to get my own needs met in place of Your will. Or in place of others’ needs. You keep repeating to me, through many ...

Divine Echoes

April 27, 2010

Today was an ‘echo’ day. God repeated an earlier promise to me (view here: youaretheoneiwant.com/2010/03/25/he-speaks). Bill & Marsha Burns sent out this scripture today – my divine echo 🙂 “Look, the LORD your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, ...

Addicted

April 24, 2010

In the words of John Mayer, we all self-soothe somehow… me? Music. People. Cooking. What are yours? When life’s edgy, money’s low, pain comes, or you’re alone.. where do you turn? We’re all designed to be comforted. I know I need it. Like today… my ...

The Music in You

March 27, 2010

The science gurus recently discovered something awesome: Music helps people exercise longer, harder, and enjoy it more! Why? Because something about music makes time ‘pass’ faster. Today as I worked on my contract job (web work), not something I eagerly “look forward ...

He Speaks!!

March 25, 2010

The Lord gave me this message recently, twice in one night! “When the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not ...

The Assembly

March 24, 2010

What does it mean to be ‘in the assembly’? And why does this keep coming up to me? King David and Job both cried out that, while they used to lead the assembly into praising God, they no longer did. They mourned the day they found themselves no longer among God’s people. Why ...

Traces of the World

March 18, 2010

I’m so excited to share this! Today, I was surprised to discover — halfway through the day — that it’s my spiritual birthday! All day long I’ve felt spoiled 😉 It’s been such an incredible day, to the point where I kept asking God what He was up to because ...
